Smart ways to refashion your old T-shirts

Everyone has in their closets clothes that they do not wear them anymore for various reasons. Whether it is because they believe those clothes are out of fashion, or because those clothes do not fit them anymore, they choose to throw them as deep into the closet as possible and forget about them. However, many people simply cannot afford buying clothes every week or so, and for this reason they resort to those clothes that they have thrown in the deepest of the closet and try to refashion them. One of the most common methods is to add some ribbons, so if you want to buy ribbon online, all you have to do is some research. Below are some interesting ideas to refashion your old t-shirt.

Add some ribbons

One good method to refashion your old t-shirts is to add some ribbons. You can choose from a wide variety of ribbon materials, colours, sizes and models available on the market, so you do not have to worry about not finding the right ribbon for you. For example, you can choose a wire-edge ribbon, pleat it and create a bow that you can then sew it to the t-shirt. Another example might be to take a pair of scissors, cut a certain pattern on the back of the t-shirt, and tie the edges of the cut parts using a colourful ribbon.

Paint it

In case you are good at painting, you can definitely use this in order to refashion some t-shirts. The only condition is that the t-shirt should be in plain colour, because if it has other designs imprinted on it, the result would not be as good and unique as expected. Choose a white t-shirt for instance, because with these ones the painting can be better observed. From this moment on, all you have to do is let your imagination run wild. Find a unique image or drawing and try to paint it on the t-shirt. Let it dry and then you can start attract your friends’ attention with that unique piece of clothing.

Cut it

Probably the easiest way to refashion an old t-shirt is to cut it. In this case, you only need a pair of scissors and maybe a pencil or something with which to draw a pattern. You can find various tutorials on the Internet from which you can get your inspiration in case you have no idea how to cut your t-shirt.

Other ideas

Whether you cut it, paint it or sew some ribbons on it, you can add some other items too in order to make the t-shirt unique. For instance, you can add some colourful safety pins, studs or some colourful buttons from older clothes. You can even combine the three methods mentioned above in order to refashion not only your out-of-fashion t-shirts, but also other clothes that you have not worn in a long time.

Overall, these are only a few ideas that you can use if do not want to dispose your old clothes. You can still wear them if you refashion them in one way or another.
